I don’t have New Year’s resolutions. Instead, I set intentions at the start of every year. I write my intentions in my physical weekly planner and digital journal.
In 2024, all but one of the intentions I wrote down has been realized. Specifics don’t matter, but three big things, which were not entirely in my control, worked out exceptionally well in my favor. Sometimes, despite how much you want things to happen and put in the work, they can also depend on external factors that should work in your favor. 2024 has been the year when three specific lucky moments arrived to help our past years’ efforts bear fruit.
Sure, I read some books, exercised 137 times, added a few one-hour walks each week during the second half of the year, and accomplished plenty of other little things, but what truly made 2024 memorable for me and my family was the significant progress we made on my three big intentions.
For that, I am very grateful!
My takeaway from 2024 is to have hope and put in the work to capitalize on lucky moments. The saying Luck favors the prepared is indeed a cliché, but it works! 2024 also solidified my belief that writing down your intentions will likely make them a reality.
Here’s to a fantastic 2025.
